STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The directors of Alpha Group Topco Limited (the "Company") are aware of their duty under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 to act in a way that they consider, in good faith, would most likely promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole. In carrying out this duty, the directors have had regard to the matters set out in section 172(1)(a) to (f), including the likely long-term consequences of their decisions, the interests of employees, relationships with stakeholders, and the impact of the Company’s activities on the environment and community.
The Company is a holding company and forms part of a wider group of companies. As such, the Company’s success is closely tied to the performance and governance of those entities. The directors also consider the views of the Company’s ultimate shareholders when assessing strategic initiatives and capital structure, and they take into account the interests of the group’s employees and other stakeholders to the extent relevant to the Company’s investment role. Given the Company’s nature and structure, direct engagement with external stakeholders is limited, but the directors remain mindful of the reputational, regulatory, and environmental impact of group decisions and ensure that these factors are considered as part of their group-level discussions. The directors are satisfied that they have acted in a manner consistent with their duties under section 172 and that their decisions during the year have supported the Company’s purpose as a holding company and its contribution to the overall success of the group.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The Directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025.
The Directors who served during the year were:
Mr D Richards (resigned 14 October 2024) Mr J Clarke Mr C Kimber (appointed 14 October 2024)
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the Directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £9,195 (2024 - £8,546).
The directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend.
The directors anticipate that the business environment will remain competitive, however the Group is in a good financial position and the business risks are being well managed. We will continue to focus on maintaining organic revenue growth through bidding and winning new contracts while retaining our existing customers. Following the change in ownership this is likely to be complemented by carefully considered acquisitions as the opportunity arises. These are likely to be in niches of our service offering that we either currently subcontract or do not offer, and this will continue to enhance the services quality for our customers. Through this careful and considered approach the directors are confident of the continued profitable success of the business.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ALPHA GROUP TOPCO LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Alpha Group Topco Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 30 September 2025, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Balance sheet, the Statement of changes in equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon. The Directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

ALPHA GROUP TOPCO LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ALPHA GROUP TOPCO LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance.
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. The specific procedures for this engagement that we designed and performed to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud, were as follows:
∙Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims;
∙Enquiry of management and those charged with governance to identify any material instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations;
∙Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙Performing audit work to address the risk of irregularities due to management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of bias.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's report.
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies applicable to a going concern.
The Company made a profit before taxation of £9,195 during the period ended 30 September 2025 (2024 - £8,546), has net current assets as at 30 September 2024 of £138,545 (2024 - £129,350) and net assets of £138,456 (2024 - £129,351). Forecasts have been prepared using what the directors consider to be reasonable assumptions relating to the Company’s financial performance, current financial position and existing financial resources for a period of a period of least 12 months from the signing of the financial statements which show the Company to have sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company is reliant on group borrowings not being called in for repayment for a period of at least 12 months from the signing of the financial statements unless the Company has sufficient resources to do so. The Group has bank borrowings subject to various covenants. During the financial year, the ultimate parent company invested £6 million of equity in the Group which was used to repay £4m of the bank borrowings and the facilities were amended. The forecasts prepared show that Group will meet its financial covenants for at least 12 months from the signing of the financial statements. The Group has considered the expected financial performance, current financial position, existing financial resources and compliance with borrowing covenants for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of the financial statements which show the Group and Company to be a going concern. Based on the above, The Directors are of the opinion that the going concern principle is applicable and that the Company has the necessary resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.
